Winter

Mother Nature gave you a day to remember. A day to reflect
on for years. Bet you'll find many things to be gratefull
about
this day....and oh the memories.

Not a boring day, eh?

who's going to have to go to the store on snowy and icy
roads.


Better snow than the freezing rain that we have here. I
slid down the driveway, slid down to the corner, barely
able to turn onto the main subdivision road, and at the
next street, one block away, my passenger bumper had an
encounter with a driver-side door as the lady slid through
the stop sign. I ended just enough in the ditch that I
couldn't back out, she in the main road. Nearly an hour
later the police hadnt' arrived and with more traffic and
cars sliding past us, her husband and friend pulled me out
and I drove home. They were only a couple blocks from
home too. She got the ticket as it was her fault, but sad
really because of all the ice. I couldn't make it up my
driveway so parked in the neighbors temporarily. Schools
amazingly were still open, but I called in sick and said
no way was I braving 32 miles of hills and highways. Now
come to find out I swung around and my back passenger door
impacted her rear bumper. Hers is toast and I can't open
my rear door.

So, after about a dozen phone calls from insurance,
police, car rental, etc. I'm really curious as to what
will happen. Her insurance will pay for repairs, but a
ten year old Saturn with 142,000+ miles is only worth
about $500. I know that I will need a new car in the
nearer future, but not quite yet.

So, I rested some, sewed some, and plan on burgers on the
grill. As Scarlet said, "Tomorrow is another day," and
I'll brave it all then.

Major snow is falling. It's 19-F outside, headed down to
11F tonight
and 1F tomorrow. More snow. I'm bundled inside my house,
stitching and
staying warm. Many hot drinks are being consumed. The
fireplace is in
full use. I sort of like Winter.

Hope all of you are staying warm, except for those south
of the
Equator, and I hope the berries are delicious and the
days soft and
sweet.

I wish Steven would report back in. The time we had just a 'little'
accident I was pretty sure I was going to die the day afterwards. As I
recall, I was unable to stand up or sit down without help. You can't get a
whole lot accomplished crawling about on hands and knees. So, Steven,we
would like to know how you're doing. Polly
